Chapter 237 Corpse Queen

Chapter 237: Thousand Corpse Queen
"These evil spirits may be related to Master Qian."

After Tian Lin finished speaking in secret to Zhou Jin and his sister, he spoke in secret to Zhang Rou.

He did not explain the origin of his guess and still focused his attention on the family of four below.

"Our Great Qi Dynasty is officially established by the Divine Court, and the people of Great Qi are also protected by the Mountain God and the River God. What are you afraid of?"

The old man said firmly, "After daybreak, Muramasa will go to the county town to find the government. The government's demon-catching department will come to catch the fox that caused trouble."

He said 'after dawn', and the night sky outside began to change rapidly.

Bright light shone into the small attic from outside, so much so that the lantern in Zhou Mengjiao's hand was not so bright.

At this moment, Tian Lin suddenly saw Zhou Jin take out talisman paper from the storage bag and pretend to hit behind him.

Tian Lin was startled, and when Zhou Jin took out the talisman paper, he slipped and rushed to the attic window.

In the bright light, a noose was hung on the beam above the attic.

A woman was hanging by the noose, and she was the daughter-in-law in the family of four.

Zhou Jin's talisman hit the "hanged" woman, and the female night-wandering spirit opened her eyes in an instant, pulling the rope around her neck and trying to come down.

Tian Lin and Zhou Jin shook their heads and jumped out of the window first.

Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou followed closely behind, and then Zhou Jin also jumped off the attic and landed in the yard of a farmer's house.

Tian Lin glanced at the yard and said to the three people: "The well is gone. This is not Yujia Village."

Zhou Jin was shocked and asked, "What kind of power can throw us into another world without anyone noticing?"

"This is still Yujia Village, but this 'Yujia Village' should be the 'Yujia Village' from an earlier time."

Zhang Rou pointed to the mountains outside the village. The outlines of those mountains were obviously exactly the same as those outside Yujia Village.

"This should be a dream - we may be in a dream right now."

While the four were whispering, there was movement in the attic.

Several people hid under a tree next to the house and soon saw that among the four members of the family, except for the hanged daughter-in-law, the other three ran out.

As the son of a family of four struck the gong, dozens of villagers soon came running over.

Tian Lin pulled Zhou Jin and pointed at several figures behind the villagers.

Zhou Jin quickly spotted Senior Brother Changxue and the others among those figures, and Senior Brother Changxue also quickly spotted the four of them.

"This is a dream. The things in the dream should be real things that happened in Yujia Village a long time ago. We are not people in the dream. As long as we don't disturb these 'people' in the dream, they won't be able to see us."

Senior Brother Changxue meant that everyone should not be afraid or escape in panic.

"Whose dream is so powerful? Are the 'people' in the dream all capable of Night Wandering God cultivation?"

"I think it should be one of the two gods that Yujia Village carried back to the village."

After Senior Brother Changxue finished speaking, he took Tian Lin and a few others to watch the "performance" in the courtyard openly.

"It's the Fox God's doing again!"

As soon as one villager finished speaking, the old man refuted him: "What fox god? It's obviously a fox demon! It killed my daughter-in-law, I must not let it go."

The old man's wife cried and scolded her husband:
"It's all your fault. I told you to move away, but you refused. Now your daughter-in-law is dead. Is this retribution?"

The old man said angrily, "It wasn't us who killed the fox, it was that little beast from the Zhang family. Even if there is retribution to be done, it should be that little beast from the Zhang family who should suffer retribution."

After he finished speaking, the old man said to Muramasa, "Muramasa, what do you think we should do about this? We must seek an explanation from the Zhang family."

The village chief here was a man in his sixties. Before he opened his mouth, a villager next to him said:
"That's right. Every wrong has its perpetrator. It wasn't us who killed the fox, but the little beast from the Zhang family. Why should the retribution fall on us when no one from the Zhang family died?"

The angry villagers suddenly left the house and walked to the other end of the village.

Tian Lin and others followed closely behind, and soon arrived at a simple thatched cottage.

The villagers forced open the wooden door of the hut and quickly dragged out a skinny girl in her teens.

The old man whose daughter-in-law had died came forward, slapped the girl on the face, and asked her, "Little girl of the Zhang family, where is that little beast Zhang Sheng?"

The little girl burst into tears and cried, "Grandparents, uncles, please let my brother go. He didn't mean to kill the fox, he was just too hungry."

Then an old woman said angrily: "Your family should have starved to death long ago. If you stay here, you will offend the fox god and make us suffer."

As the woman spoke, she took out a needle and poked the little girl, causing her to scream in pain.

"If she refuses to hand over the little beast, then strip her clothes off."

A woman made a suggestion, and a group of people started to work together.

The men stood outside, peeking at the scene inside.

But no matter what the women did, the little girl refused to tell them where her brother was.

She just said: "My brother said that he only killed an ordinary fox. There is no fox god in this world."

"You little bitch, you still dare to quibble!" At this time, Muramasa said, "She is right. What she killed was just an ordinary little fox."

After these words were spoken, the women stopped their attack and the men's attention was drawn back to the little girl.

"Muramasa, what do you mean? If it wasn't the fox god's doing, then how come so many people hanged themselves in just half a month?"

The old man whose daughter-in-law had died looked at Muramasa viciously and demanded an explanation.

Muramasa sighed and said, "It's because everyone drank the water from the pool in the valley.

That water is a corpse-sinking pond, where too many corpses have been dumped over the past thousands of years, some deserved to die, some died unjustly, and some died in vain.

Now the resentment has not been resolved, so much so that the water flowing out of it is poisonous. "

The villagers didn't believe it because everyone had drunk the water from the pond, so they couldn't believe it.

Moreover, if the water in the pond was really poisonous, and not the fox spirit causing trouble, then wouldn't their previous actions have wronged the little girl from the Zhang family?
"Is there any basis for what Muramasa said?"

When a villager asked a question, Muramasa answered, "This was told to me by the great monk from the city. This great monk is a divine monk from the Little Leiyin Temple."

When they heard the words "Xiao Leiyin Temple", not only the villagers were shocked, but Tian Lin and his companions also looked at each other in surprise.

When Tian Lin was eating Zhou Shoufan's eyeball in the Wenxin Sect of Yulong Continent, the prompt word indicated that it was a top-grade Thunder Spirit Pill.

The introduction of the top-grade Thunder Spirit Pill shows that this pill is a secret pill of the Xiao Leiyin Temple and is used to generate thunder spirit roots.

In this world, how many elixirs are there that can generate spiritual roots?
As far as Tian Lin knew, even the Wendao Sect did not have such elixir.

Tian Lin thought that the Little Leiyin Temple in the entry was just a fictional product of the entry, but now it seems that there is indeed a Little Leiyin Temple in the world.

I just don’t know if this Little Leiyin Temple is the Little Leiyin Temple mentioned in the entry.

"Since the holy monk said so, it must be true."

The villagers believed in the reputation of the Little Leiyin Temple, so they asked Muramasa anxiously: "Where is the holy monk? Did he tell us how to survive?"

Muramasa said: "The divine monk said that he was just a monk sweeping the floor at the Little Leiyin Temple. With his skills, it is difficult for him to suppress the resentment of countless people for thousands of years. If he wants to survive, he can only use the method of grafting flowers and trees to make those resentments only come to one person."

"Who wants to be a sucker like that?"

One person spoke, and everyone suddenly followed Muramasa's gaze and looked at the little girl who had been beaten earlier.

The little girl clearly felt their gazes, but by this time she no longer had the strength to struggle.

"Little girl from the Zhang family, the uncles and aunts in the village treat you and your sister well, right? After your parents died, you even asked them to borrow food."

The little girl knew what these people meant, and she shook her head with difficulty.

One villager looked grim and said, "If you don't want to go, then let your brother go?"

When her brother was mentioned, the little girl's eyes widened a little and she shook her head even harder.

The villagers asked, "Then you go in place of your brother?"

The little girl closed her eyes, apparently agreeing.

The villagers were delighted and said, "You did this voluntarily. We didn't force you."

Seeing her crying, Muramasa coughed and said:

"Don't worry, Nizi. If you die, we will take good care of Zhang Sheng for you. Doesn't he want to study, go to a martial arts school, and become a detective in the Monster Hunting Division in the future?

We will all help you raise money to support your brother's education."

The little girl opened her eyes and said thank you in a hoarse voice.

The villagers were discussing how to invite the holy monk to perform a ritual. Senior Brother Changxue also said to Tian Lin and others:

"Before the mass burial ground became a mass burial ground, there was a Great Qi Dynasty here. At that time, there were mountain gods and river gods, as well as monsters. This kind of sacrifice was a common occurrence."

Zhang Rou heard this and said, "But if people sacrificed their lives to mountain gods, river gods, or monsters, the villagers would be safe, but what about the ordinary people who were sacrificed?"

No one spoke, only Muramasa said: "The divine monk will come tomorrow, and then we will ask him to perform a ritual."

Muramasa said "tomorrow", and the sky changed again.

Everyone has experienced night suddenly turning into day, so they are used to the speed of time flow in dreams.

When I looked at the village again, it was full of people.

A fat monk appeared surrounded by villagers. He looked at the little girl who was tied up and said:
"Carry her to the ancient pond, and I will make her into a guardian spirit for you. As long as you worship her day and night, she will not only help you eliminate the resentment in the pond, but also ensure your safety in the future."

The villagers were overjoyed. They first served the fat monk with good wine and meat, and then surrounded the fat monk to the valley.

This was Tian Lin's second time coming to the valley, but the first time he followed the people from Yujia Village, and this time he followed the people in his dream.

At this time, the villagers only saw the fat monk taking out pieces of parchment and muttering something to Gutan.

"I sewed thousands of dead souls onto her body, and she alone bore the bites of thousands of resentful souls for you. You must not forget your gratitude, you should build a temple for her, and then find an opportunity to ask the court to posthumously confer a title on her - from now on, you should call her the Goddess of the Thousand Corpses."
